Chapter 1541


    Thea leaned over and kissed James on the forehead. She caressed his face and said with a smile,


    “Rest well, Honey. I’ll be back by dusk if nothing goes wrong.”


    A myriad of emotions welled up in James as her soft hands caressed his face.


    He remembered caring for Thea the same way when they were reunited a year ago.


    Unexpectedly, it was Thea’s turn to take care of him now.


    He closed his eyes and stayed silent.


    Meanwhile, Thea headed out.


    She picked up the hoe in the yard and walked out of the vige.


    James could not move, so he stayed in bed as he stared at the ceiling in a daze.

    Time passed by at a cial pace.


    After some time, James gradually fell asleep.


    Suddenly, a person appeared in his room.


    The man looked to be in his 40s. He had a short crew cut and was dressed in baggy white clothes.


    He stood beside the bed and had a troubled look on his face as he looked at James.


    “I’m sorry, my boy. I don’t want to do this either, but I’ve got no other choice.


    “The Spirit Turtle’s blood in Thea’s body is aberrant and is beyond what I expected. I’ve carefully


    studied it and found that the blood in her body is affected by her emotions.


    “The more intense her negative emotions, the stronger she’ll be.


    “Which is why I have to take you away.”


    The person that showed up was Thomas.


    Thomas stood in front of the bed as he murmured to himself.


    All of a sudden, he flicked his finger toward James.


    An invisible force flew out from his fingertips and shot into James.


    Immediately afterward, Thomas picked James up and made to leave the room.


    Next, a man dressed in a ck coat with a mask that covered his face walked inside the room.


    In his hands was a ck bag.


    Inside the bag was an assortment of broken bones and chunks of human flesh.


    He opened the bag and haphazardly emptied the gruesome contents of the bag on the bed.


    After hepleted his task, the person followed Thomas‘ lead and quickly left the ce.


    Simultaneously, Thea was busy tilling a piece ofnd outside the vige.


    The powerhouses of the Celestial Sect had secretly found this ce, and she arrived after taking many


    complicated turns. It would be nearly impossible to find James in this ce even if one had a robust


    intelligencework at their disposal.


    Before she left, she had left a phone behind in the room.


    It was so James could contact her if he needed to through the use of voicemands.


    This set her mind at ease.


    She worked until it was almost dark and hurried home with her hoe.


    Thea walked into the yard and put the hoe away.


    She pushed open the door and walked into the house.


    “Honey, what would you like for dinner?”


    Thea walked into the room and asked with a cheerful voice.


    However, she never received a reply.


    This unsettled her so she hurriedly made her way to the bed.


    Upon getting close to the bed, the sight before her made her blood run cold and she was frozen in


    ce with horror.


    “Aaaaah!!!”


    After staring aghast at the gruesome scene for a few seconds, she let out an anguished scream.


    Her voice let off terrifying sonic waves.


    The invisible sonic waves leveled the surrounding houses, and the vige was reduced to rubble in the


    next instant.


    “Who did this?!


    “I swear, I’ll tear you into pieces!!! I don’t care who you are!”


    Her furious roar reverberated from within the vige.


    Thomas stood on a big tree on a distant mountain and watched everything in the vige unfold before


    him.


    “What monstrous power.”


    Thomas was shocked by the scene.


    Thea ttened an entire vige simply from the power of her sonic waves.


    Despite ascending into the Fifth Stair of the Skyward Stairway, Thomas knew he himself was not


    capable of causing this level of devastation with such ease.


    Yet, here Thea was disying an incredible amount of strength in a short instant.


    “The angrier she gets, the more explosive her strength will be.


    “Thea, I won’t hurt James, so I hope you don’t disappoint me. I’m pinning my hopes on you that you’ll


    be the first person to reach the ninth rank.”


    Thomas murmured surreptitiously. His body floated away like a phantom, disappearing into the forest


    almost in the blink of an eye.


    He moved faster than a sh of lightning.
